MASc Oral Exam|Applications of Graphene in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries by Elizabeth Miller

You are welcome to attend Elizabeth Miller's MASc oral exam, where she will discuss her research in Applications of Graphene in Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

Abstract:

In this thesis, Nafion membranes were modified with single to few-layer heteroatom-doped graphene with the aim of reducing vanadium crossover and possibly improving reaction kinetics within a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB). The former was successfully achieved, while the investigation of the latter demonstrated limitations in the application of some established analysis techniques to systems such as VRFBs. Reduced graphene oxide did appear to have a positive effect on the reaction kinetics.
